Officer's Report
The Site
The site represents the curtilage of the terraced dwelling 7 Victoria Road Port St Mary. The property is located approximately half way along the road on the southern side.
Planning Status
The site is located within an area identified as being Predominantly Residential Use by the 1982 Development Order. The site is not within a conservation area however the property was built prior to 1920 and as such planning permission is required for alterations and replacements to windows and doors.
Representations
Port St Mary Commissioners indicate no objection to this planning application. The Department of Transport Highways Division has not commented on this application.
We have received no privately written representations in relation to this planning application.
The Proposal
Proposed here is the replacement of the existing windows to the front elevation with uPVC sliding sash windows. These would replicate the method of opening and glazing bar pattern of the original windows.
Assessment
The proposed replacement windows would represent an improvement to the exiting house as they would reinstate the original method of opening and glazing bar pattern of the original windows thus enhancing the property to the benefit of the surrounding area. It is therefore recommended that this planning application is permitted.
Party Status
It is considered that the following parties, who submitted comments, accord with the requirements of Planning Circular 1/06 and are therefore, afforded interested party status:
